Ballet In Violet

Ballet In Violet
This was taken at Queen’s View in Scotland, UK during my visit there last September. We were having a light lunch of sandwiches and fruits when we chanced upon this group of wild yet brightly coloured flowers on the grass patch. I took sometime thinking of a name for this shot. The shape of the flowers reminded me of ballerinas eventually and hence the above title 🙂

It has become customary for me to post a flower picture almost every Chinese New Year… I am a little late with this year’s post (my parents didn’t buy any photogenic blooms for the New Year this time around :P). Here’s making up with a picture that I took during my visit to Loch Tummel last year. To those who can’t read Chinese, the title means literally to “rise (to greater aspirations) with every step”… In other words, may you reach greater heights in whatever you do in the New Year. 新年快乐!(Happy New Year)
